Does anyone know if this this tree was healthy or dying?
I am a proud and happy Bayside resident, but I’ve had my share of frustration. I know I can’t remove a tree in front of my property, regardless of all the damage it is creating to my sidewalk, sewer pipes, vehicles, and gutters /roof shingles. But walking in the vicinity of Bourbon Street, I see this “freshly” cut stump. I don’t recall seeing a sick or dying tree. I see a bit of a cavity in the stump. And I see it’s just about at its limits with the stones and sidewalk. Is there a different criteria for commercial properties and city trees? Or was it on its way out?
